Let's keep this thread for City of Culture stuff, rather than the merits (or not) of wind farms.

Without wishing to stoke more coal on the fire, I think until we get some new clear facts, it's just a load of hot air and a carbon copy of previous similar threads.
Does my frackin head in.

The radius (i.e. length of this one blade) is obviously one half of the tip-to-tip diameter of the turbine.

why the quote post Bengals ? i was making the distinction that its NOT half a blade as the question was asked , also that the piece is one complete lump .
some could imagine it as a prop' . . . sod off you Bore !

You may wish to rephrase the above after a good night's sleep. I truly have no idea what point you're trying to make here, or what brought on your obnoxious aggression. Turds of a feather, maybe? It's quite fashionable at the moment. You're usually a lot better than this.
Plum's original question was : "Is {the blade} just one half of the complete span?". A perfectly reasonable question from someone not familiar with the technology or its nomenclature. I tried to explain it in simple terms, commensurate with the question: is it half or all of the span?
Regarding your "Bore" ... go take a hydraulic jump (after sobering up).

I find it amusing that the criticism is targeted at onshore when the subject blade is from offshore.
As for the facts and the failings of the technological efficiency, I would like to see links to support it.

To keep the City of Culture thread clear, I've moved all the wind farm stuff on to here.

You can discuss your blade width to your heart's content. <ok>

It doesn't actually belong to Siemens, it's owned and operated by a Danish company and was built in Norway, it's a very Scandinavian effort.

I don't know the answer, but who owns the Danish company? Siemens have a habit of buying key partners.
 
i do wish siemens hadn't put that 8' fence up, obscuring the view.

It's not ideal. Still a good view and fascinating to go and look when they're loading the ship up with blades and stuff though. I think the big ugly wall was something to do with keeping noise in for the sake of the local residents.
